What is a 4-Year Academic Plan?
The 4-year academic plan is a place in Infinite Campus for students to plan and track their course selections as they move through their high school career.
How to Access the 4-Year Plan: (Please click here to view a copy of the directions with screenshots).
Step 1: Login to your Infinite Campus
Step 2: On the left toolbar, select 'Academic Plan'
Step 3: Select Post Grad Location (In-State)/ Post Grad Plans (Four Year Public) then click 'Next'
Step 4: Your job is to select courses with your student for the upcoming years to finish out 12th grade.
-
In each grade level column, click in the box for that subject area (i.e. English) and type in the course your student would like to take.
-
Remember to select A and B courses to match (A being 1st Semester and B being 2nd Semester).
-
-
Repeat this for each subject area (Math, Science, Social Studies, Health, Electives, Fine Arts, Physical Education, World Language, etc.).

*Important* if your student will be taking any classes at Chandler Online Academy (COA), there are generic courses you should select in the ‘non-credit’ area at the very bottom.

This will just tell the counselor that the plan is to take those courses at COA.

Once on the transcript, they will count toward the appropriate subject area credit.

Grad Tracker
This 2026-2027 school year we are excited to introduce a brand new electronic credit check system known as Grad Tracker!
Grad Tracker provides a comprehensive view of your high school student’s progress toward graduation in real time by pulling from your student’s 4-year academic plan within Infinite Campus as well as their transcript. It displays courses your student has already completed, those they are currently taking, and those they are planning to take in the future.
Each course contributes to specific graduation requirements, allowing you to see how credits are being earned over time. By reviewing this information, you can easily determine whether your student is 'On Track' to meet graduation requirements or 'Off Track' if there are areas that may need additional attention.
You find directions below to access the parent/guardian portal through Infinite Campus to review your student’s Grad Tracker.
However, before you log in to review a Grad Tracker Report you MUST ensure that your student's 4-year academic plan is complete.
How To Access Grad Tracker

Step 4: Select 'View' located to the right of the student's details to access the Grad Tracker Report.

At the top you will be able to quickly identify if your student is 'On Track' or 'Off Track' for graduation.
Education & Career Action Plan (ECAP)
An ECAP reflects a student’s current plan of coursework, career aspirations, and extended learning opportunities in order to develop the student’s individual academic, career goals, and postsecondary plans. ECAP is a graduation requirement for ALL Arizona students.
Within CUSD, we utilize SchooLinks to help students to explore their ECAP goals. Throughout high school students will use SchooLinks as an electronic portfolio to complete career interest inventory and personality assessments, track their extracurricular activities, build a resume, and log Career Technical Education (CTE) internship hours.
Each grade level will receive different lessons within SchooLinks. Here is a snapshot of what will be delivered in each grade and by who:
| Grade | Activity in SchooLinks | Who |
| Freshman | Top Skills Assessment | School Counselors |
| Sophmore | Would You Rather Assessment | English Teachers |
